I Just truly enjoyed a bottle of “Barolo 1982” My husband purchased this sometime
1980, waiting for our 50th ann. He passed away about 2 months prior to our 50th
The wine was wrapped in a colth,bubble wrapp, and finally foam rubber wrap.
I felt it was time to open it w/good friends, advising that having been stored in
inapproaiate temptures, it would most likely be a good red wine vinegar
It had 12 years stored in the garage. Let me tell you, I wish I had another
of such a great wine. Our friends were very impressed and we must say
we really enjoyed as we all liked our lips. Thanks again for such a good
wine. I asked our liquor store, but knew nothing, oh well such as it is
for a small town. Thanks again. I just wanted you to know how pleased we
all were. Alyce J. Tolson: TolsonajTolson@bellsouth.net
